Figures that bear it
A model judged each figure against its own description, one term at a time. Is: the figure is, or is partly, this thing. Bears: it carries the thing or is marked by it. What a figure does is filed under motifs and powers. Open "why" for the sentence the judgement rests on.

why
In the local folklore of the Scottish Highlands it is Titania who gives the Fairy Flag to the chief of Clan MacLeod at Dunvegan on Skye, a banner to be unfurled only in the gravest danger and good for three occasions, after which she takes it back.
